I have two WD2500JS drives in my box running Debian Etch (kernel
2.6.15). I've installed the "hddtemp" package and it reports that one
is running at 70 degrees and the other is at 76. It can't tell whether
these are C or F, but I assume C. That's way outside the specified
operating temp for the drive (up to 55c) and even the non-operating
temp (up to 65c).
What can I do about this? The case already has an extra chassis fan,
which I've faced inwards to bring cool air into the case (because the
big PSU has two fans which expel air out of the case, and because that
brings the cool air right past the HDs).
Extra fans will do nothing if air does not get to the disks. Are teh disks
mounted close together ( eg in disk bays right above each other)?i Separate
them.
All very well if you can do it. In my main box,the disks are one above the
other and they nearly touch. The drive bays are as close together as
standard parts permit, but this means there is about 1/8" between them and
the air from my cooling fans blowing right at them keeps their internal
temperatures reasonable. There are no spare hardware bays in my fill-tower
to separate the drives.
Do the disks feel hot if you touch them? You could always get some
cpu fans, remove the heat sinks and have the fans sitting on the disks
blowing air straight at the disks.
Why not just by normal fans without heat sinks? That is what I have done
(two intake fans blowing right at the disks, and two exhaust fans blowing
from the disks at the opposite side of the case).
I doubt that would be 70F since that is probably lower than room
temperature. Disks do produce heat. And at 70C you will loose the disks in
short order. Have extras on hand.
